Brook had to say...

About My Life and Career:

I am a Professional Wino, residing in NJ. My Life is surrounded my Wine and Booze.  I am Sommelier, Mixologist (a fancy term for a Bartender), and Bar manager. I build wine lists for restaurants as well.

I take classes on wine that I stumble across, and I have recently completely a Wine Spectator course that makes me an official "Wine Spectator Professional." At some point I would like to start working towards the Master Sommelier or Master of Wine designation. I am by no means a Wine Snob. Yes I know about wine but I do not know nearly as much as I would like to. I am constantly learning more and spreading my knowledge to whoever it is that will to listen.

I also Do Event Planning for weddings and Parties. If you know anyone in the Tri-State area that Needs a Party Planned Send them My Way!

Things I do: Aside from wine I am into all sorts of other things. I occasionally get these hankerings from time to time to create stuff. So I Write, Knit, Scrapbook, paint, draw, and am a horrible photographer. Reading is is by far my favorite past time though. If anyone knows of any good Book Clubs in the central Jersey Area, please tell me!

My Places On the Internet:
